Nerve Branch Diameter as an Indicator of Motor Function in Extralaryngeal Branches of the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve During Thyroidectomy. [PDF]

Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol
In cases where a clear disparity in diameter exists, the thicker branch may be considered more likely to have motor function. Additionally, when the branches have similar diameters or are located close to the LEP or near the ITA, the anteromedial branch is more likely to contain motor fibers. ABSTRACT Objective Preserving the recurrent laryngeal nerve (
